Abstract:
Ein alter Mann aus Santa Rosa de Sucumbios stellt aus Holz ein etwa 2,4 m langes Blasrohr mit Mundstück her: Er vierteilt einen Baumstamm, behaut, erhitzt und richtet die zwei Stücke, hobelt sie plankonvex, markiert, schnitzt und poliert die Laufrillen, umwickelt den Schaft alle 20 cm mit Palmfasern, picht ein geschnitztes Mundstück auf den Endzapfen, umwickelt den geharzten Schaft mit Bast und picht ihn mit Harz.
Abstract:
The blowgun is being made by Narcisio Lucitante. Narcisio, like many of the Cofán in the area, is an expert in both the use of the blowgun as well as in its manufacture. His first task was to bring in appropriate half sections of wood for the future blowgun and to this end he crossed over to the Ecuadorian side of the river where such trees as used for the weapon have not yet been totally depleted by the Cofán. He chopped down one of them with an axe and thinned it down on the spot into sections which he then brought home. Further work all took place entirely at home. The halves were thinned down and worked over in part on the special wooden platform set near the house for this purpose. The tools consist of a machete, a plane (not always used) and a knife. When both half sections had been smoothed and properly finished they were glued together with tree resin and tied at intervals with slender fiber. After this they are wrapped up in closely spaced bast fiber and finally covered with a layer of heated pith to give the weapon a protective black glaze.
